STRIPPERELLA DESIGNS

I did these drawings in 2003 while employed as a staff
storyboard artist on “Stripperella”, an animated TV series based off of Pamela
Anderson. The concept for the character and her universe was contrived by Ms.
Anderson and Stan (The Man) Lee. The series was produced by PopToons, a
subsidiary of Nickelodeon set up precisely for the purpose of executing a
soft-core porn animated cartoon series while not tarnishing the parent brand.

I must have had a window of down time from storyboarding, so
my director, Kevin Altieri, had me do the Stripperella come-hither drawings for
some print application (I forget what).

The drawing of the zaftig Stripperella
must’vebeen done for my own amusement,
as I still have the original. The drawings of Carrot Top, OJ Simpson and the
pregnant lady must have been done as character layouts of the overseas
animation studios.

A brief aside: Jill Thompson did character designs on the
series; I belief she did the Carrot Top design I based my drawing on.
